Click on the individual well to get a lot of interesting realtime data.

Posted - Dec 17 2007 : 08:23:35 AM Thanks for the link Jen! I wish there was a monitored well closer to where I live. It is always interesting to see how our actions can change something so important as ground water. I work for a horse ranch and we often lose pressure on our well because of the neighbors and their watering practices. It can make it hard when you count on a resource to function and it isn't there. I hope we have a good winter to help replenish the ground water supplies.
I wonder how long it takes for a really good rainfall or a good winter to impact the ground water supplies?
